Cut like a baby? (6)
I believe the answer is:
teethe
This might be a double definition.
'cut' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'baby?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how one could define the other.
'like a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teethe that I've seen before include "Cut one's first ivories" , "Experience growing pains" , "Grow gnashers!" , "Of baby, grow molars, canines etc" , "Of baby, having first gum growth" .)
